cant ping from 2k after pptp but xp ok ?

Hi,

How can I enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP when using a PPTP connection ?

NOTE:
-all windows 2000 clients behind firewall can form vpn connection to remote
server but CANT ping any nodes
-all windows XP clinets behind firewall can form vpn connection to remote
server and CAN ping nodes
-windows 2000 clinet on stand alone dialup can form vpn and CAN ping
-have tried with use default gateway on remote network checked and unchecked
-windows XP has ENABLE NETBIOS checked.

Any ideas anyone ? im flumixed !

Thanks
Scott

Its so annoying as when i run IPCONFIG /ALL the ppp adapter shows:

IP 192.168.1.60
SubNet 255.255.255.255
Gateway 192.168.1.60
DNS 192.168.1.7
DNS 192.168.1.3
WINS 192.168.1.2

So its obviously picking up network addresses perfectly.

Is there any fundamental difference with XP PRO and WIN 2K in the way the
use PPTP ? i.e it could be my firewall blocking something that 2k requires
that XP pro does not need ?

Ether this or netbios prob.

Cheers
Scott.

can you ping remote LAN ip? if not, post the touting table here; if yes, can
you ping host name?

CANT ping any IP from any win2k clinet behind firewall once PPTP
established. Yet the IP ok allocated by DHCP, subnet ok allocated by DHCP,
Wins allocated by DHCP, DNS allocated by DHCP are all correct. The GATEWAY
option is set the same as the Win2k machine that works outwith firewall.

I CAN any IP ping from win2k outwith firewall and XPpro within firewall once
PPTP estalished.

I see what you are saying however. Try to ping name. Something must be
allowing me to establish PPTP + authenticate username.

I tried to ping to ping the IP 192.168.1.10 and the name TERMBACK_SERVER but
got no response on both.

Thanks again
Scott.
